Job Details
Description
Wing Inflatables is looking for an Accounts Payable Specialist who will help keep our financial system running smoothly by managing cash flow and paying vendors and suppliers. This position will be responsible for managing the accounts payable (AP) process, reconciling certain balance sheet accounts, and maintaining financial records. This role requires the ability to work collaboratively with various departments and vendors. This is a full-time onsite role. When you join our accounting team, you will be exposed to our global manufacturing organization and accounting practices. This position is key to keeping us on good terms with our valued partners and will have an opportunity to grow in our accounting department as skills suggest.
WHO WE ARE:
At Wing Inflatables we have dedicated ourselves over the past 30 years to giving rescue workers, the coast guard, Navy SEALs, river rafting guides, and kayakers, the confidence to stay safe while performing with lightweight speed and agility on the water. Basically, we help to save the lives of water enthusiasts and marine workers around the world!
You will be working in our Lafayette office - which provides an easy commute with a BART station less than one-half mile away in a smaller family-oriented office with our customer service, finance and C-Suite staff. Yet, the beauty of this position is that you will be exposed to a multi-division, privately-held, global manufacturing company. This is a great place to take your AP experience and put it to use in a mid-volume business while having the opportunity to advance - based on your education, skillset, teamwork, and drive. And, we find that our employees enjoy the relaxed, but dynamic onsite office environment to stay connected and have immediate access to our controller and CFO.
